About the book
Raw and real. Follow eight young people navigating high school and beyond, each struggling to hold on – to family, to friends, to a piece of themselves. Perhaps you know them. The bubbly girl who keeps telling you she’s okay. The high achiever who’s suddenly so intense. The young teen obsessed with social media. The boy challenged by communication.
I feel like I’m a piece, a fragment that’s missing all the good bits but I don’t know where to find the rest … the parts I need to work properly. I bet they wouldn’t fit anyway.
Based on conversations with high school students and recent graduates, Fragments explores a range of mental health issues facing young people today. Through the motif of isolation, the eight imagined stories are both compelling and unforgettable, moving from a place of disconnection to connectedness. Although set in Australia, these stories could take place anywhere.
Speaking to the complexity, uncertainty and challenges of our lives today, Fragments is an honest and unflinching work, and a must-read for young people and adults alike.
